Jun 26 Experience Whisby through the lens

Take advantage of the beautiful weather and get out and enjoy the tranquil and picturesque landscape of Whisby Nature Park. With so many photo opportunities, enter our FREE photographic competition open to all ages.

This year marks the 8th annual Photographic Competition at The Natural World Centre and is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the sunny weather whilst you walk around Whisby Nature Park, capturing the beautiful flora and fauna through the camera lens.

This year’s competition will be sponsored by Vantage Point Photography in association with artsNK and is open until Monday 11 September. This year has four categories that will be independently judged with short listed entries being displayed in the Boardwalk Bistro at the Natural World Centre. Visitors will also have their chance to vote for their favourite which will become the face of the 2018 Calendar which will go on sale in the shop.

It is FREE to enter and is open to all ages with a limit of four entries per person. All photographs must be taken within the Whisby Nature Reserve.

There will also be Photographic Workshops taking place on Saturday 28 July with landscape and wildlife photographer John Owens. The session is aimed at beginners and family groups and will take people on a short trail, giving visitors a really good chance to capture the Whisby environment and look for local flora and fauna. You can also get tips for composition and colour, especially when working on landscape shots and close-up images.

Workshops will take place at either 10am or 1.30pm and costs £2 per adult and £1 per child. Participants must bring a camera with them. Children must be over the age of 8, and be accompanied by an adult at all times (one adult can bring up to two children with them).
